I like separating is with an underscore, like most coding styles do:

Most? I've never dealt with a coding style that had underscores.
Sorry for being unclear. My comment was only in the context of is_. I
like separating "is" with an underscore. Probably because "is" is not
part of the name. It operates at a different linguistic level.

Same here: always camelcase, except in our C libraries. Now I like
underscore more than before. :)

I am aware of that. Then half seriously, let's change the standard to
use underscore after "is". Also when parts of a camelcased name are too
loosely related.
For example, when NodeReader is an interface and when we already have a
LovelyDb, we may have a class named LovelyDb_NodeReader.
